The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a required document that each California school district must prepare under new state budget laws. The LCAP is designed to describe the program and expenses the district undertakes to provide an educational program that meets the wide range of student needs. To develop the plan, our district convened a representative advisory committee that includedparents, teachers, and administrators.The LCAP was reviewed by school site councils, staff and several district committees. Public hearings to review the final draft of the LCAP took place at the June 9 and June 16 board meetings. You are welcome to share your comments and suggestions regarding the LCAP with the superintendent at (805) 682-2564, or by email: dcooperman@hopeschooldistrict.org

The Local Control Accountability Plan for 2014-2015 was approved by the Board of Trustees on July 23, 2014.
